Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
There are three issues
a) Purchasing in the name of another person
b) Bona Fide owners of the land
c) Acceptance of Hajj and Umrah
According to Shariah, if the younger brother purchased the land and transferred it into the name of the elder brother for legal purposes, the land belongs to the younger brother. It is unfortunate that the younger brother did not record the transaction in writing, hence the confusion. However, since the elder brother has passed on since, the younger brother or some senior family member should try and engage the elder brother’s family and explain them the actual situation. It is possible that the elder brother’s family is not aware of the situation.
Thirdly, the issue of their income being contaminated will depend on whether the land is generating income or not? If there is no income generated from the land, their income will not be contaminated. If there is income accrued from the land, the income consumed by them will be regarded as Ghasb (usurped money).
The ruling of performing Ibaadat (worship) of Haj or Umrah with usurped funds (Ghasab) is that although a person will be absolved of the obligation of the Ibaadat, such a person will not receive any rewards for the Ibaadat (Raddul Muhtaar 2/459)
And Allah knows best
